The Soviets turn the proletariat away from capitalism and toward socialism to "win their victories/' Duran said. Communism, Duran said The method of "chipping off countries" is executed through National Wars of Liberation in areas of Soviet interest, such as El Salvador. The Soviets slowly make changes in these countries and say that they are helping weak countries to mature by supporting their existing socialist programs. According to Duran, the Soviet "maturing" of a country through a National Liberation movement is really a Soviet tactic to "knock off the government they helped to make." The U.S.S.R. tears (this system) apart," he said. Duran believes America "has to support governments that are friendly to (its) ideals — much more than it is doing now." He said Senator Daniel Moynihan also believes that America is not standing up when fundamental American principles of the organization of society are being attacked. The present stage of international affairs according to Duran, involves a "capitalist world turning to socialism." The The Soviet aim is to change the world balance of power against the U.S. by "chipping off a country here and there" so that they can eventually "win the world" over to U.S.S.R.'s commitment to socializing the world is guaranteed by the Soviet's constitution, Duran said. In Article 28 of the Soviet Constitution, it says "the foreign policy of the U.S.S.R. is aimed at ensuring international conditions favorable for building communism in the U.S.S.R., (and) consolidating the positions of world socialism." Duran cited as evidence for a silent Soviet takeover the collectivization of agriculture in Cuba which set up the emergence of the Soviet proletariat.
